JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel will soon halt or slow humanitarian aid into parts of northern Gaza as it expands its military offensive against Hamas, an official said Saturday, a day after Gaza City was declared a combat zone.
The decision was likely to bring more condemnation of Israel’s government as frustration grows in the country and abroad over dire conditions for both Palestinians and remaining hostages in Gaza after nearly 23 months of war.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, told The Associated Press that Israel will stop airdrops over Gaza City in the coming days and reduce the number of aid trucks arriving as it prepares to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people south.
Israel on Friday ended daytime pauses in fighting to allow aid delivery, describing Gaza City as a Hamas stronghold and alleging that a tunnel network remains in use. The United Nations and partners have said the pauses, airdrops and other recent measures fell far short of the 600 trucks of aid needed daily in Gaza.
“We left because the area became unlivable,” Fadi Al-Daour, displaced from Gaza City, said as vehicles piled high with people and belongings rolled through a shattered landscape. “No one is searching, and there are no journalists to film. There is nothing.”

How will we know?
...and world leaders will yet again do NOTHING beyond meaningless posturing, because most of them value a genocidal regime headed by a bloodthirsty maniac more than humanity, compassion and empathy. Hard to express with words how sad and angry it makes me.
These past few years have shown how badly humanity hasn’t truly shaken off its barbaric nature. I’m in my mid-40s and I grew up during a time where yes, there were still some issues, but on the whole it felt like humanity was finally starting to evolve, but now it’s the same shit that’s happened across the centuries just with a different veneer.
The fact we constantly repeat our shortcomings should have been a clue in and of itself, but I though that technical advances would also further us too instead of just coming up with more efficient ways to be assholes.
